successful candidate will be responsible for the following: 1. Provide
leadership and interpretation in regards to reservoir development planning. 2.
Assist in the identification, evaluation, and recommendation of depletion
strategies within oil & gas and CO2 producing fields, monitor and support
drilling activities. Develop workover opportunities with subsurface team. 3.
Conduct simulation studies on Company and prospective assets regarding
reservoir performance and exploitation. 4. Support the subsurface team as
needed with reservoir engineering interpretations to optimize existing well
performance utilizing pressure transient and nodal (wellbore and surface)
analysis. 5. Provide reserves determination support for source fields. Provide
economics for projects as requested. 6. Other duties as assigned.
